Welcome to MunchLaw.com

Welcome to the halls of Munch Law. If you made it this far, I assume you know your Lame Goblins from your Unspeakably Awful Horrors, so we won't bore you with a long drawn out explanation of what Munchkin (link to Steve Jackson Games) is.  Instead, allow me to quote from the last paragraph of the Munchkin rules.

Rules Contradictions or Disputes
   When the cards disagree with the rules, follow the cards. Any other disputes should be settled by loud arguments among the players, with the owner of the game having the last word.

If you play Munchkin as much as we do, you've no doubt taken part a few spirited discussions (or fights, depending on your temperament) regarding some of the finer points of Munchkin order. Also, if you're friends are anything like our friends, there's always that one stubborn player who refuses to admit their wrong, no matter how many times you show them just how terribly wrong they are. That's where Munch Law comes in. While we firmly believe the discussion and tailoring of the game rules is as much a part of the game as the +3 Pantyhose of Giant Strength, we also feel there's a place for a moderator. Someone to even the playing field and (if the players so choose) quickly solve disputes that get in the way of good fun.

That person, is you.

You, and all the other Munchkin players in the world who contribute with their questions, opinions, and feedback.  Every time you get into an argument about a card or specific game mechanic, post it on our forums. Once enough people weigh in with  differing opinions or (gasp!) agree on the answer, we'll submit it to the court of level 19 Munch Lawyers (+5 against Thieves and wearers of the Kneepads of Allure). Once they agree, its Munch Law!

There may be a time in the distant future where Munch Law can be described as "definitive", but we're pretty confident it'll never happen. The goal of this project is to supply a set of guidelines that can be followed if the party members so choose.

We want to make this game as fun as possible for as many people as possible. With your help, we can do it.
